Evaluation process and timeline

eTwinners submit applications on the eTwinning Portal.

10 January 2011: Round 1 by national panels – finalised
Each National Support Service evaluates applications in their respective countries to create a first shortlist which covers projects from all thirty-two eTwinning countries.
 
21 January 2011: Round 2 by European panels – finalised

The first shortlist is submitted to international panels of two to three experts nominated by National Support Services. In this round, the experts evaluate entries from other countries. Each panel selects three to five projects to come up with a final shortlist.

The shortlist of best entries is submitted to a final grand jury of experts composed of representatives from the European Commission, the Central Support Service and external experts.  Each member of the jury first views the shortlisted entries on their own before the panel meets in person and selects two top projects for each category as the finalists.

Finalists (age categories) and winners (special categories) are notified and the results are published on the eTwinning Portal.
